Celebrate with Minervas – without ever going out to eat

Minervas in downtown Sioux Falls is a place where memories are made – from family meals for Mother’s Day to engagements and rehearsal dinners.

But Minervas also can be part of life’s celebrations outside of the restaurant.

Full disclosure: We thought we knew most everything there is to know about Sioux Falls’ most beloved downtown restaurant, and much of what you’re about to learn was news to us!

Soup and salad options

You can’t go wrong with anything on the Minervas salad bar – which still applies no matter where you’re dining on it.

Whether you’re hosting an office retirement party, a shower or graduation celebration, the salad bar’s offerings can still be yours!

You can order customer-favorite tomato zucchini soup or the soup of the day by the pint, quart, half-gallon or gallon for a perfect accompaniment to your meal.

Salads such as Cajun, pea, Waldorf, potato, beet, tomato feta, broccoli and macaroni can be packaged by the quart or half-gallon. Hosting a Memorial Day or Fourth of July picnic? They’re perfect for that too!

And what’s a salad without dressing? Minervas sells any of its dressings by the pint.

Even the extras

The delicious bacon horseradish cheese spread on the salad bar also can find its way to your appetizer table for special events. It’s available by the pint or quart.

Come to think of it, why not just make it a staple in your fridge at home?

You even can add a loaf of Minervas white or multigrain bread to your to-go order. Also not a bad addition to your pantry!

And everyone’s favorite salad bar salmon can be yours to help elevate your event’s food selection. Cost depends on weight and market price, and it comes with sauce!

Sweet treats

OK, who can resist the candy bowl on the way out of Minervas? You know you rarely take just one.

So we loved discovering this: You can actually buy a 5-pound bag of these delicious little morsels! Put them out on your special event tables, and watch your guests light up.

And the sweet treats to go don’t stop there. Minervas sells its delicious tiramisu by the pan, along with other desserts perfect for groups of many sizes.
